Bitcoin

<p>At the recent <strong><a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/price-prediction/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> 2024 conference</strong> held in Nashville, the community turned its focus to the present government’s stance on the regulation of cryptocurrencies. U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and Tim Scott made use of this opportunity to raise their concerns on what they have referred to as the Biden administration’s “war on Bitcoin. ”</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">If government controls the money, they control us. It’s time to stop the Biden admin’s war on bitcoin. Let’s pave the way for financial innovation, not stifle it. <a href="https://t.co/HZLd4QwexX" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/HZLd4QwexX</a></p>— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenLummis/status/1816999169174741028?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">July 27, 2024</a>

<p>In her speech, <strong>Senator Lummis</strong> emphasized the importance of supporting financial innovation rather than restricting it. She shared that her interest in Bitcoin began through discussions with her family and participation in crypto-related meetings.</p>
<p><strong>Senator Tim Scott</strong> also backed Lummis’ view on Bitcoin as a tool that could help increase access to financial instruments for everyone, including minorities. He highlighted his background. Growing up in a single-parent household, he sees Bitcoin as a means of providing chances to marginalized communities.</p>
<p>Scott emphasized, “Bitcoin is about giving the average American a chance to make their own decisions, democratizing our financial footprint, and achieving the American dream.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The conference also focused on the issues encountered in the Senate, especially with the Senate Banking Committee, where both senators have noticed that there is a lot of opposition to the bills supporting cryptocurrencies. They condemned the existing regulatory environment overseen by SEC Chairman <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/13/can-gary-gensler-be-fired-on-congressman-request/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler</a> whom they claimed was too rigid in enforcing the laws without clear guidelines.</p>
<p>The senators were still optimistic that this could be different in the next year where there might be more Republicans leading to better Crypto laws.</p>

<p>Moreover, they expressed their disagreement with the implementation of CBDC and called for the protection of individual digital wallets as sovereign wealth. Secondly, they emphasized the importance of basing Bitcoin mining and its related industry in the United States. This is particularly crucial given the Biden administration’s proposal to implement a 30% excise tax on mining.</p>

<p>In the meantime, <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/26/high-profile-crypto-donors-show-support-for-donald-trump-why-though/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a> in his speech sounded more positive about cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trump’s decision to accept cryptocurrency for campaign contributions and meetings with Bitcoin miners, may indicate a changing political support for the industry. His next speech will possibly expand on his views on Bitcoin and its position in the United States economy.</p>
<p>More so, the 2024 elections are likely to fuel the debates between the representatives of the Bitcoin industry and the politicians. The tensions highlight the relationship, among technology, economy, and policy as digital currencies become increasingly embraced in mainstream society.</p>
